Abstract
Here we are, aware of the pitfalls of the body politic, trying to understand home and how we can all belong on this earth together. I am convinced that though Butler, Deleuze and Guattari, and Braidotti (to name a few) are pointing in the direction of transformation, there is another step to be taken, a shift in consciousness that cannot be guided by the rational mind alone.
